About Sharon
Sharon Gunnell offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and life changes. She welcomes conversations about career worries, coping with health issues, and the strain of caregiving. Sharon aims to help people build steadier days and feel more like themselves again.
She works in a person-centred way, meeting people where they are and following what helps most. Her approach is practical and collaborative - sessions focus on what feels useful now rather than fixed rules.
Background and approach
That can include learning new coping steps and noticing what matters most in life. Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people to accept difficult feelings while taking steps towards a valued life. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises an open, non-judgemental space for people to talk at their own pace.
She has three years of experience and holds an NCPS credential. Sessions address a wide range of concerns such as ageing and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life counselling, pregnancy and childbirth, and sexual assault and abuse. Sharon also works with isolation, guilt, communication problems and questions about life purpose.
Sharon works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Sharon works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work together with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their needs and goals. That collaborative planning means the work can change over time as circumstances shift.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - keeping travel time down, offering a way to have shorter check-ins during a workday, or reducing the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can help people sustain therapy while managing other demands.
